UMKC Password/Security Registration Information

UM campuses are adopting a more secure verification process to better protect personal data and University systems. In order to do so, all UMKC faculty, staff and students are required to register their security information in the Secure Authentication Toolkit. Current faculty, staff and students should select the Register your Security Data button below to register their data. The New User Activation process (below) now prompts new users to register so that it does not need to be done separately.

Everyone is encouraged to register as soon as possible. Once your
registration is complete, you’ll be able to use these new tools to reset
your UMKC password.

To complete user registration, you must answer 2 knowledge based questions. If you would like to change a question option, use the pull down menu on the question field and select from a new set of pre-approved questions. Please note that IT Support Personnel cannot see answers to your knowledge based questions, only the helpdesk verification question. This will be used for identity verification in the case that you contact the Technology Support Center for password assistance.

Once you have answered all 6 questions, click update.

You will receive a message in your browser stating "You have successfully updated your information." and will receive an email stating your account has been updated.

Select your preferred delivery option and wait for the passcode to be delivered.

You will be prompted to enter the passcode in your web browser. Type the passcode into the field and click submit.

On the password setup screen, you are provided your USERID for confirmation.

Type in your current password and your new password ensuring you follow the password requirements. Click submit.

Once successful, you will be presented with the following message in your browser window: Password has been successfully changed.

You will receive an email notifying you that your password has been changed.
